I know why you made this post, but I'll answer anyway because I know you're not joking or being ironic here. None of these are outlandish enough for this to be a troll post, although I know you want people to think it is.

Verdict: A future of being a "Where have all the good men gone?" Cat Lady. 🐈

One more thing... Any woman who asks for all of this stuff also has to be as traditional and ladylike as possible. Any whiff of Progressivism, feminism, or snark, and all bets are off and you can enjoy your marriage to the first simp who wipes your ass for you.

I've seen red flag/green flag lists before, but yours are... unique, purplepoppy. LOL

I can own three red flags:

- Penis not quite 6" long
- I've been known to fall asleep on the dry side of the bed when I could get away with it.
- I own guns, partly in case the need for defense ever became necessary, but mainly because I got into shooting as a sport when I was 16 and also because ass holes keep threatening to tell me I'm not allowed to own them.

Green flags:

- I call it Pinot Noir and enjoy good wines
- Earned way more than 25% over minimum wage
- Had a profession
- Never "made" a partner sleep on the wet spot
- Know how to drive a manual
- Live on 30 gorgeous acres with a view
- Good on guitar and vocals (did that in rock bands for years but play other kinds of music, too)

But:
- Never owned a bow tie, let alone do I know how to tie one
- Drive a decent car but it's over 5 years old. I don't like newer, all computerized cars.
- Have no clue how to make sushi. God invented Japan and sushi chefs for that.
- Can't tell the difference between a crow, a rook or a jackdaw at a glance. I never found that lack of knowledge to be a hindrance.

Strangely, my failings never prevented me from dating or having sex. 🤣🤣🤣

Most of the red ones I agree with. Except “owns a gun for self defense” wtf why is that a red flag.. if he “owns a gun to be “cool” “ that’s a red flag.. but if he knows how to safely operate a gun and plans on only using it to protect you or your and his kids that’s not a red flag. Would you rather him just let a dude break into the house and rape you while he sat there doing nothing?

RotOfStars · Answer

Alright.. so some of those are highly specific.

Only ones I take offense to is the Grey sweatpants. (Those are comfy as fuck. But why would anyone tuck in sweatpants..🤨🤷🏾‍♂️)

The automatic thing.. listen.. I love my car but I just want to drive.

You're green flags are very specific including the sushi one. Like sure that might be a common interest but I don't know if you can judge the quality of a man by that.

Same with the different animals.

And what the actual fuck is a currant? No.. that's a bit too specific.

The land thing I could see as a reasonable measure of a good guy though
Most men don't have it, but it's good shit if he does.

Whatever2929292 · Answer

I think someone with a list like this is a red flag but we all have our own standards.

I think you seem very judgmental though. I agree with the first one if someone has to call themselves a alpha... The rest of it is just kind of BS.

They can be your standards but you should not try and force all women to be like you or act like all women think this way when it isn't.

As a guy I can tell you. It is not just insecurity either because well... I kinda know who I am lol. But these kind of standards when I find a woman is like that I loose interest pretty fast

SimpleGuy95 · Answer

First questions why do you need to put lists in capital letters? Second questions are those your complete lists or just examples?
Because looking at both of them I find the green flag list more reasonable than the redflags.
Because how often did you mean a guy that told you budweiser is a craft bear?
Besides that I find interesting that you are open to date a criminal because those guys are missing in your list?
Another topic that seems missing in your list are character traits like narcissism or other people that have a huge ego.
A last question would be to me if you all redflags and green flags are equally important to you like what do you do if he´s a great guy but his dick is too short would you reject him or try to work out? Or think of a guy that´s rich but doesn´t know how to cook because he grew up with a housekeeper all his life?
I think that´s something you may give a thought besides that go for it.

Texaskid1 · Answer

@purplepoppy. Do you cook? Do you clean? Do you make sandwiches? Do you speak only when spoken to? Do you do as you are told?

These traits are important in a woman. Red flag for any woman that answers no.

MysteriousDarkness · Answer

How are baseball caps a red flag?
Pinot mor is nothing so I think you meant Pinot noir.
Here in the US a shopping trolley aka shopping cart is what you use to put the stuff in you pick out while shopping before you pay for it.
Why is only being able to drive an automatic a red flag?

Most people only wear a bow tie to a black tie event?
How often do you go out to eat at a fine dining restaurant?
Instead of jackdaw you should u have said raven?
Good luck finding someone who can master the art of sushi making.

jimmy2 · Answer

Well in these high car prices , home prices, high apartment prices and on top of all I paid and everyone pay high price on gas. I had to pay $5.79 for gas today

DonkeyDan · Answer

Who doesn't know how to tie a bow tie? I wear one everytime I'm preparing sushi 🍣

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

I was worried on the Green Flags, then noticed my salvation.. I can’t sing or play an instrument

Andres77 · Answer

Standards are important and having enough love for yourself and self confidence to not compromise your standards is probably more important. The list looks good to me.

Anonymous · Answer

Guns for self-defense? Bollocks! Just ring the constable and hope someone actually shows up that isn’t a complete coward.

Goddamn I don’t know why you people are so hell bent on people getting raped and killed in their homes. I can’t wrap my head around it.

Raisins and currants is important to you but protecting yourself from murder isn’t? Because no one in the UK ever gets robbed and has their head bashed in. But goddamn we’ve got to get those raisins and currants sorted!

ohshee · Answer

No not even okay so teach me sugar and vinegar what is the ratio I mean I know I could figure it out but I think it would be different for whatever you're going to use it on

wingattebaby16 · Answer

right on.. I like both flags! esp the penis size... hahahaha and having a job where i dont have to pay for everything.

Blackcosmo · Answer

Some of the things on each list are quite unreasonable.

Birdlegs · Answer

Woah woah what’s wrong with Grey sweatpants? Also I’m 21 I can’t afford a decent car that’s less than 5 years old😭

AviatorTom · Answer

I'd be surprised if any man met all of the things listed for either red or green flags.

HighValue · Answer

After seeing those lists, you are a red flag in my opinion. Obviously a greedy, feminist, liberal. No appeal at all.

IJhonnyI · Answer

Shit is this a women or a little girl with a spoiled mind 🤔🤨

DCooper · Answer

ElvenMr · Answer

You seem a bit superficial and shallow to me. Most of your red/green flags doesn't seem unreasonable, they just don't make sense. I'm not gonna say more, cause i don't want to hurt your feelings.

This list isn't unreasonable is it?
